Barbora Trnková

CZE

Lecture

1.6. 17:00 Lecture

Barbora Trnková will present a summary of the results of her artistic research in which she adopts her own glitch feminist intersectional perspective to confront the dominant narratives operating through the metaprograms embedded into the digital technologies. These narratives are currently almost cartoonishly accelerated by the boom of outputs labeled as artificial intelligence (AI). She will demonstrate how, in today’s digitally mediated era, these metaprograms continue to limit the potential, freedom, and lives of others. Those whose insights may be missing from our imagination of a meaningful and sensorily rich future.
As a photographer, Trnková approaches the medium of photography with the conviction that, rather than depicting objective reality, the resulting image reflects the perspective from which the (digital) devices making it possible to take the image were created. One’s own perspective can be seen as a photograph inscribed in the body of each of us. However, developing and showing this image is not always easy/possible.
